Well, I'm somewhat shy of talking about my passion for Sondheim's work after people made mountains out of molehills, but here's his mantra: Less Is More Content Dictates Form God Is In The Details All in the service of Clarity - That's what Finishing The Hat opens with. That book changed my life the way that the Jazz Theory book changed Michael Bell's life. 👋

Re: favourite musical - well, I used to say Sweeney Todd but now I say Follies. At some point in my mid-twenties the codpiece hamminess of Sweeney started ringing false, while Follies is about his milieu and the death of the old-school musical. I like Company, but I think Follies is a far better score, and that's the one that he was passionate about, while Company was something that he was pushed into doing. Assassins is awesome too; very underrated.
